Production and decay of for the 125 GeV Higgs boson in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity

Abstract

Motivated by recent search results for the standard model (SM) Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we revisit the Higgs phenomenology in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity (LHT). We present the signal strength modifier $\mu$ respectively for the main search channels $q{q}^{\prime }\to jjh\to jj\gamma \gamma$, $q{q}^{\prime }\to Vh\to V\gamma \gamma$, $q{q}^{\prime }\to Vh\to Vbb$, $gg\to h\to \gamma \gamma$, and $gg\to h\to VV$ in the LHT model. It is found that an enhancement factor of $1.09-1.56$ in $q{q}^{\prime }\to jjh\to jj\gamma \gamma$ channel can be obtained for this model in Case B with parameter $f$ in the range 1000 GeV$\sim 500$ GeV. However, the rates for $b\bar{b}$, $\tau \bar{\tau }$ are significantly suppressed relative to the SM predictions which are still consistent with the current sensitivity. It is hoped that will be further tested with larger integrated luminosity at the LHC.
